Personally, I think the story is BS, or greatly exaggerated.

However, it [iis[/i common knowledge that several senior players didn't want to change and didn't accept critique of their performances. It is also common knowledge that we've not looked like potential Grand Final winners since 2013, despite a plethora of big names on big money over the last 10 years. It is clear there was an issue long before Powell arrived, as big name players don't suddenly become bang average overnight. And we've thrown a LOT of money and effort at big names.

The debate will go on about whether or not Powell is the right man to overhaul the club, but change was certainly needed. I'm hoping this season was a perfect storm of pressure, unsettled and nervous players, new systems and calls, and a few bad influences in the dressing room. If all that becomes history over the course of the off-season, then we may just get to see Powell's form for turning clubs around. Let's hope he turns out to be the right man for the job after all, because I'm not seeing many other candidates out there. As someone stated earlier, Wane seemed completely put off by the thought of taking the reigns here.

Absolutely this.

In the past he was super
Now he's a pale shadow of Cooper
That's Amor, eh.

And, conversely, to discount one that doesn't fit.

We did have a forum member confirm that said something very similar a month or so back but didn't name names.

Anyway, to use a facile phrase as Powell is so fond of employing which seemingly obviates any sense of singular, end point responsibility to him - "it is what is is".

Yes, I remember this too.

Good Post.

Agreed, I think if amor actually did say that maybe everybody at the club should have a look at themselves and take the criticism on board. The culture starts at the very top at the board, then on to the CEO, then the coaching staff and finally on to the players. Everyone has to buy in. The question should be are we serious about winning the grand final? If the answer is yes that what do we need to do to make it happen. An unprofessional outfit quite simply won't win it.

Amor's a good professional, maybe not top notch, but a sound player. The trouble is he was playing with one of the most professional and successful clubs in SL for most of his career, little wonder then he became p*ssed off with the attitude at Wire.

Fuzzy ...These are your last two post. Why should we take you seriously?

It was me that heard this from the horses mouth and yes I didn't produce the name at the time, but now you know

How far back was it when you heard it?

1st August

Pretty sure he had played since then too.

So which is Smiffy? Either we have a wholly unprofessional set up in the opinion of a title winning Warrington player, or Snaggletooth and Fuzzy Duck are telling fibs.

I know which my money is on.

Jason Clark has said something similar and it wasn’t aimed at the players.
